A fresh approach to a beloved sport, The Tennis Court is a photographic journey of the 200 most breathtaking tennis courts around the world.

"Nick Pachelli takes us on court in every corner of the world with a sharp eye for what makes our game and the people who champion it so special."
--Billie Jean King, sports icon and equality advocate

Every one of the world's half a million tennis courts is, at its most basic, an identical blank canvas: a 78-foot by 36-foot rectangle, divided by a 3-foot-high net in its center, and marked with eleven straight lines. But add in the elements of surface, space, wind, acoustics, crowds, shadows, humidity, and even air density, and every tennis court is unique--a work of art. And some are masterpieces.

Nick Pachelli curates and profiles 200 of the world's most beautiful, iconic, significant, alluring, and idiosyncratic tennis courts from across the globe, each breathtakingly photographed. He explores the heavyweights, including Wimbledon's All England Lawn Tennis Club, which employs a hawk to keep stray birds from soiling the meticulous lawns. Arthur Ashe, the Grandstand, and Court 17 in Flushing, Queens, where hundreds of thousands of tennis fans gather every summer for the US Open. And there's Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland-Garros, whose clay seems to take on a different shade--burnt orange, burnt red, burgundy, umber--every time you see it.

We visit far-flung treasures, such as Waiheke Tennis Club in New Zealand, where you'll need to take a plane, then a ferry, then a car or bus, and then walk before arriving there. Indoor marvels, including the Tennis Club de Belgique, which evokes the hushed, reverent feeling of a theater, with skylights illuminating the court and leaving the spectators in the shadows. Hidden jewels, such as the tiny Tennis Club San Stin in Venice, a secret, single outdoor clay court tucked away behind a villa and a 15-foot wall shrouded with vines.

There are urban courts, including the Knickerbocker Field Club, deep in the heart of Flatbush, Brooklyn. Academies, like Rafael Nadal's tennis temple in Mallorca, Spain. And the extreme: a single court completely isolated in the wilds of Scotland; a court in northern Spain revealed when the tide goes out, the sand hardens, and the metallic plates that serve as lines reemerge; and a court in Kenya made out of termite mounds.

Throughout, Pachelli not only conducts a masterful, once-in-a-lifetime tour of the world's best courts, but in his writing does something equally immersive: He captures the real passion--some might say obsession--that tennis inspires. Because it's on the court, no matter how grandiose or mundane, whether in an exotic locale or around the corner, where tennis players truly see themselves. Where we come face-to-face with our temperament, our drive, our frustration, our bliss, our longing.

Does what it says... And surely better than hanging cords to catch your feet on!
Size: 36"
Does what it says... And surely better than hanging cords to catch your feet on! I've caught my feet on the cables hanging behind my desk way too many times. Things get unplugged, cables get strained, & in some cases, connections are damaged. This product prevents all of that. Not that this really "Organizes" the cables, as much as keeps them managed in a way that doesn't involve hanging onto the floor or behind the desk for your feet to catch. No regrets so far, beyond not ordering it sooner. I definitely recommend & would purchase again.

Sturdy and effective cable tray!
Size: 36"
This is a high quality cable tray that's sturdy and easy to install and use. It can hold a bunch of cables, and even heavier things like power strips securely. The installation process was easy, and I found the instructions to be sufficiently clear, once set up I found it a breeze to route cables and a power bar that I had attached to the underside of my desk with VHB tape. I think this is a good value for the quality of the product and would happily recommend this to others who want a mesh type cable management system like this!

Good Sized Cable Management Tray
Size: 36"
Well made and sizeable cable management system. Pretty easy to assemble and install. The cable tray attaches under the desk/table top with two bracket and associated screws. You'll need about 4 " - 6" clear from the back edge on the under side of the top to make this work. Has a metal plate in the bottom of the netting for setting a power strip.
